  • My husband I were in town for a wedding and found this place by SMELL!!!!! We had our windows down driving down this offbeat road and smelled BBQ and we were starving so in we went!!! We both had lean chopped brisket sandwiches and beans, with coleslaw and cheesy green beans. Everything was fantastic tender smokey and just delicious! Definitely a hidden gem!

  • Excellent BBQ , sauce and service. The sides were really good and they have a list of the gluten free sides. I would drive here from San Antonio it was so good. Highly recommend. Turkey brisket and tri tip were great!

  • Best BBQ in Fredericksburg. A little of the beaten path but so worth the effort to find it. The pork ribs were super tender, and the brisket was the best in Texas. Clean and friendly service, can't wait to go back.

  • As good as it gets! Traveling through Fredericksburg at lunch time and looked for the highest rated BBQ in town. Backwoods popped to the top and we bit.
